Hi Leif!
First, I have to say that Breakaway Live works very stable! Nearly perfect 🙂
The only one thing I do not get to grips with is a strange crackle after system restart. Sounds like CPU spikes!
The simple solution is to enter into the Breakaway audio settings (processing stopps) and go back out of the settings. Now everything works fine…It’s no big problem, but an automatic emergency restart would not quite work…
Windows Vista x64 Home Premium SP1
It does no matter what soundcard I use. I tried it with MAYA44 USB (non ASIO mode) and the PC internal audio.
Settings:
Input 1: KS / Breakaway Pipeline 1 / 480 / 4 / 48000 / SRC: no
Output 1: DS / Soundcard line out / 480 / 4 / 48000 / SRC: noAudio realtime priority: yes
Enable ASIO: no
Start up with computer: yes
Effects: no
Encoders: noThat’s a tough one to solve, but I do have a possible workaround:
There’s a way to add a delay to the startup in the ini file. If you open BreakawayLive.ini (search the Users folder — due to virtualization it won’t be under program files in vista), and then:
Find the [Master] section
Add the following keyword: StartupDelay=5This adds 5 seconds of delay. If that’s not enough, try 10, or a higher number.
Footnote: This startup delay only applies when Breakaway is started on startup (using the "force" command line parameter), not when you click on the icon.
Let me know how it works out!
Best,
///LeifMaybe you should point him to the VAC 3.12 link if all else fails Leif? Sounds like a very similar VAC 4.08 bug I had, although mine was more like a stuttering effect that disappeared after a restart but eventually came back. Might not be…but worth a try if what you suggest doesn’t work.
Cheers.
In fact it’s like a stuttering first and changes to something like crackles… I’ll try your work-around tonight Leif. But I tried somthing like that already by using a batch file including a 30 sec sleep before starting up Breakaway. There was much less of stuttering by starting it up, but the crackles were still there.
How odd!
I’ll be honest, I have never managed to get acceptable audio performance out of vista myself.. And I’ve tried — on several machines, and several different versions of vista.
///Leif
I was thinking the same too. To me, Vista has always been a piece of crap when trying to get stable audio out of it. XP, when setup right, works flawlessly.
It can’t be a real performance problem… As I said, after stopping Breakaway (by opening the audio settings window) and starting again then, everything’s perfect! I’ll see… 😕
Yeah.. But, why is that? Where is the unreliablility coming from? It’s not like the Breakaway executable changes between launches. 😉
///Leif
I got it! 😀
After setting the start up delay to 60sec everything works fine… It seems that a high CPU load by starting up Breakaway will affect the processing performance for ever!
